The Onda armchairs by Giovanni Offredi for Saporiti Italia are stunning examples of 1970s-1980s Italian modernist design. Featuring a sleek and elegant silhouette, these chairs are characterized by their wave-like (“Onda”) shape, offering a perfect blend of comfort and aesthetics.
The structure consists of a curved, upholstered seat and backrest that seamlessly flow into each other, creating an inviting and ergonomic form. The plush upholstery, often in soft fabric or luxurious leather, enhances their sophisticated appeal. The chrome-plated metal base adds a futuristic touch, providing both stability and a floating effect, typical of Offredi’s innovative approach to furniture design. These armchairs are not just functional seating but also striking sculptural pieces, making them highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of vintage Italian design.
